Summary/Abstract: This article presents the results of the research of the application on a state level of the program management approach tothe territorial development of small business. Studying the main mechanism of the state policy implementation in the sphereof small business on a regional level, the authors have revealed the necessity to take into account the territorial specificity whilethe government programs of small business development are being formed. The analysis of the national practice of utilizing theprogram management mechanism in the regional system of the government support of small entrepreneurship was conductedon the example of Omsk region. The results of the analysis have shown the inefficiency of the current support system for smallbusiness and have determined the need to create an integrated model of territorial programming, which would not onlycontribute to the qualitative development of small business, but also provide the functioning efficiency of program managementmechanism. As a result, the authors have created the two-level model of the programming of the territorial development of smallbusiness, which allows to satisfy purposefully the needs of entrepreneurship taking into account the specificity of the internal andexternal environment of the region. The first level of the model is methodological one and it is based on the marketing approach(the concepts of place marketing and relationship marketing) to the operation of the program management mechanism. Thesecond level of the model is methodical one. It offers the combination of the flexible methods of management of programmingprocedure (benchmarking, foresight, crowdsourcing and outsourcing). The given model raises the efficiency of the managementdecisions of the state structures in the sphere of small business. Therefore, it is interesting for the government authorities, which are responsible for the regional and municipal support programs of small business, as well as for the theorists and practitioners ofpublic administration where the program management mechanism is just developing its methodological form and content. Thedeveloped model may become the basis for the methodologies of management of strategic planning system in Russia.
